Hacking WP-EMail

PHP Certification Anyone?
I love PHP and what better way to show it than to take up the certification exams! I purchased 10 online mock exams from Zend and already answered two of them. I failed on my first attempt (which I expected) and I kinda cheated on my second so I passed! hahaha. I’m reviewing one subject at a time which includes:
- PHP Basics
- Functions
- Arrays
- Strings and Patterns
- Web Programming
- Object Oriented Programming in PHP
- Database Programming
- Elements of OOP Design
- XML and Web Services
- Security
- Streams and Network Programming
- Differences Between PHP 4 and 5
I would love to hear your tips and suggestions on how you would prepare for the exams. Happy PHPing!
